Explanation:

When a node attempts to join an existing cluster, the Cluster service performs a beginjoin remote procedure call. The beginjoin call returned the error. Among the many possible causes: The node that is attempting to join a cluster might have formed its own cluster, or there could be a version mismatch. The error code in the error-message text indicates the cause.

User Action:
